Dana Estate Helms Vineyard 2019 750mL Italy and full-bodied richness make this"Showing consistently (if not a touch better) than earlier this year, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Helms Vineyard is a medium to full bodied, complex, incredibly satisfying Cabernet offering lots of cassis and plum fruits, ripe, integrated tannins, wonderful purity of fruit, and lifted, exotic notes of candied violets, tobacco, and spice. It's drinking nicely today, but it should have two decades of overall longevity." Jeb Dunnuck, JD97, tasted 2 2023
